Emotional Disturbance

By one-fanged vision

i can't think anymore
why is talking
like stretching full-length
across a cracking limb?

i want to break free of this shell
I want to let go of incompetance
of my insecurity
I want to find a home

do you find me awkward
do you think I'm insane
but where will I go
to let out my pain
if you wont be there next to me

why do you let me cry
maybe i'd like to laugh for a while
or drive myself away from this place
I hope that doesnt bother you... doesn't bother you

do you find me awkward
do you think I'm insane
but where will I go
to let out my pain
if you wont be there next to me

Pehaps I'd be better off
trapt in a slaughterhouse
starved as a child
and forcefed in my sleep
d'you think it'd go down well with your folks

Stop backing away
it's only a blade
just give me some blood and I'll walk away
just think what they'll say down at work
when I come in with
O positive stains up to my knees

do you find me awkward
do you think I'm insane
but where will I go
to let out my pain
if you wont be there next to me--next to me
please don't leave me behind
